4D NetKit: Get Google and Microsoft 365 calendar events
Managing calendars and events is crucial for many applications, especially when integrating with popular services like Google Calendar and Microsoft 365. Starting with 4D 20 R9, you can easily retrieve and access calendars and events from these platforms with the new 4D NetKit commands. Whether you’re synchronizing schedules, building calendar-based features, or simply fetching event details, these commands enable seamless integration with Google and Microsoft 365 services.
Use class in embedded web area with $4d
With 4D 20 R9, 4D introduces new commands that allow developers to define an object context for $4d, ensuring only specific functions are exposed. Previously, using $4d meant exposing 4D methods to the web area, but now, you can define and use class functions instead. This improvement allows for better organization, encapsulation, and security when integrating 4D functionalities into web areas.
4D View Pro: Import callback ensures custom functions are fully resolved
Importing documents is a common task when working with 4D View Pro. However, when these documents contain custom functions, it can be challenging to determine when all calculations are completed before performing actions like printing or saving. To solve this, 4D 20 R9 makes sure that the callback formula of import commands is done only after all custom functions have been fully dealt with. This improvement gives more control and reliability when working with imported 4D View Pro documents.
4D NetKit: Use your web server host ports to retrieve your OAuth 2.0 authentication response
When using OAuth 2.0 authentication with 4D NetKit, you must define a redirect URI to indicate where the OAuth 2.0 server should return the authentication result. With 4D 20 R9, you can now use your host web server’s address and ports to retrieve your authentication responses. This enhancement streamlines the authentication process, prevents port conflicts, and improves security.
Edit and Debug Component Methods and Classes in 4D from the host project
When working with your own component, switching between the host and component environments just to debug or enhance your component code can be inconvenient. With 4D 20 R9, you can now edit and debug component shared methods and classes directly within the host project, as long as the components are included with their source code.
Debugging 4D Code Directly in Visual Studio Code
For Visual Studio Code users working with 4D, a new extension called 4D-Debugger that works with 4D 20 R8 is now available.
The new 4D-Debugger extension brings powerful new debugging capabilities to Visual Studio Code, expanding on the features of the 4D-Analyzer introduced earlier. With this extension, you can set breakpoints, step through 4D code, and inspect variables from the Visual Studio Code interface. This tool integrates seamlessly, simplifying the debugging process and making VS Code a more versatile workspace for 4D projects.
4D Netkit: Get user information from Google
Being able to access Google user information efficiently is critical for creating responsive user interfaces and automating tasks like sending emails to multiple users within a domain. To meet these requirements, we have introduced a set of features to get specific user information and to retrieve all domain profiles and contacts.
Enhancing the Debugging Experience
Debugging plays a vital role in any development process, and improving the debugger’s functionality and usability can significantly enhance a developer’s productivity. From 4D 20 R8, 4D has introduced several improvements to its debugger and remote debugger. These updates focus on saving user-defined settings, making managing and reusing expressions easier, and redesigning the overall interface.
4D View Pro: Excel import/export update
As part of 4D View Pro‘s continuous development, we’ve expanded the Excel import and export functionalities in 4D 20 R8. In this update, new language options have been added to align with the interface capabilities and give you more control over the exported workbook.
IMAP API: Retrieve Unread Email Counts for multiple mailboxes in One Call
Many of you rely on IMAP commands to display the number of unread emails in your app’s UI, helping users stay informed about new messages. With 4D 20 R7, we’ve enhanced the IMAPTransporter.getBoxList() function, enabling it to retrieve unread email counts and mailbox properties simultaneously, ensuring faster response times.
